Explanation:

Since we arent given enough information to SOLVE for h, I will get as close as I can by rearranging the equation for h

Convert the fraction to a decimal for simplicity

A = 0.5(a + b)h

Divide both sides of the equals by 0.5

A/0.5 = (a + b)h

We can convert A/0.5 into its reciprocal

2 A = (a + b)h

Divide both sides of the equation by the bracketed (a + b)

(2 A) / (a + b) = h

Rewritten

h =
(2A)/((a + b))
